How to reinvent accessories

I preoccupied myself with lots of things today. I did the laundry, organized our room, and fixed some of my stuff. While doing the latter, I realized I have tons of accessories already and that I need to stop myself from buying more. My jewelry box is oozing with them and yesterday, I had to buy another box to place the excess ones. As I was grouping them, I found this cute black bracelet which I haven’t worn in ages:

Unfortunately, it’s broken. It could have been a cool statement accessory; the buttons have really nice details (with the floral and stripe designs and all), it’d be such a waste to just throw them out. So I thought, why not make them into rings? I’ve been drooling over those connector rings from Forever 21 but their prices just don’t suit my budget, but hey I can totally make my own, right, without having to spend thousands of bucks.

So I pulled out my trusty tweezers, pair of scissors, and glue to start the work. I have to admit I was pretty nervous doing this “reinvention project”, afraid that I might ruin and lose those pretty buttons to the trash bin. Those floral buttons are just too cute to dispense.

Carefully, I pulled them apart and chose the buttons I’d like to make as rings, grouped them, and placed back those little thingies (I’m sorry I dunno what to call them) and ended up with this first baby:

Hurray for me! My first-ever flower connector ring look-alike. It’s not really a connector ring per se, it just looks like one when worn:

I was still able to make a second ring out of the remaining buttons:

Aren’t they lovely? Yipee, now I have two adorbz rings! I’m pretty sure I’m the only one in the world who have them. HOHOHO. I could turn this into a career. Blah 🙂
